The Las Vegas Raiders have been focusing on both continuity and depth with their offensive line, a crucial part of the offense with their quarterback situation being a bit gloomy these days. 

Returning starters include Kolton Miller at left tackle, who has been a consistent performer, earning high grades from Pro Football Focus over the years. Andre James remains at center, with Dylan Parham at guard, showcasing the team's investment in younger talent. Thayer Munford Jr. has also seen significant action, adding to the line's versatility. Of course, they drafted guys like Jackson Powers-Johnson and DJ Glaze as well.

The team has bolstered its offensive line with notable additions like Cody Whitehair and Andrus Peat, both bringing veteran experience and flexibility across multiple positions. This move was aimed at enhancing both the starting lineup and the depth, ensuring competition for spots and readiness for any injuries.

But, with one of their best players out on the offensive line, and others a bit beat up, the offensive line has not only struggled in training camp but during the preseason as well.

With some recent news, the Raiders could be getting some help in the trenches very soon, which, really is perfect timing for the 2024 season, where the Raiders will start their season against a pretty good defensive line in the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Raiders recently cleared JPJ, the rookie from Oregon, off of the PUP list, or the Physically Unable to Perform list, and now they are doing the same for star left tackle Kolten Miller.

Miller will hold down the left side for Gardner Minshew, now giving him a bit more time in the pocket than he had before. We will see just how much Miller participates in practice on Tuesday night, first, though.
